We will be in contact with our season ticket holders, suite holders, and sponsors with plans and options that will be available in the event that games are postponed or cancelled. Single game ticket buyers may keep their tickets or go to the point of purchase for a refund.The Blues appreciate your patience and loyalty. We value your support and your passion for the Blues, and we look forward to seeing you at Scottrade Center once a new CBA is in place."
